Has Dennis Morris been doing poorly in camp? I was sure he would be the replacement for Sellers in a year or two. I see on the depth chart he is 3rd string fullback. What's up with that?

[quote=SmootSmack;718784]Redskins running some Wildcat with Banks at QB today

My gut says Sundberg doesn't last pass the first preseason game

Beck could surpass Grossman if both keep playing the way they have been recently. Though I still think Grossman holds on to the back up job when all is said and done[/quote]

The prospect of flirting with the Wildcat will give D/C's something else to prepare for. Any maneuver that will occupy a portion of the oppositions practice time is a good one.

Agree, I think if Banks makes the team he would make a good 3rd down back IMO I know he's a WR.

I really look forward to seeing the little guy play. He's got speed to burn and can contribute in a variety of ways. I know the odds are long, but it would be nice if we could find a spot for him.

I think that there are going to be some guys out there that get cut that would easily make our team. Dallas and Cinn. are two teams that have a lot of wr's and not all of them will make the team.

[quote=tryfuhl;718882] [B]From your link[/B]

Thanks, great read.

Really like this part:

[quote]*QB John Beck has some tools that these coaches should be able to work with. Early in 11-on-11 work, he rolled to his left and threw across his body, hitting TE Logan Paulsen in stride for a nice gain. He also drilled WR Shay Hodge in stride on a deep slant.

I’ve heard people around the league rave about how smart Beck is. He looks more comfortable in the offense every day. Today that showed in how he checked to Hodge in a hot read against the blitz. It was a quick slant that picked up about 10 yards.

Kyle Shanahan said last week that Beck hasn’t proved he can’t do it in the NFL. That’s an interesting way to look at him. Beck was drafted in the second round, so he has a quality pedigree. Perhaps being with the Shanahan father-son duo and McNabb will provide him with a level of teaching he wasn’t exposed to in Miami and Baltimore.

Way to go Johnny!

Re: The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread
 

Mike and Mike on ESPN both picked the Skins to go 10-6. They picked the Eagles to go 8-8 and the Giants to go 6-10 and 7-9. Nice to see some love out there for once. Pretty much everything else I have read has them finishing last.

Re: The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread
 

I didn't make it to any training camp days, but the twitter reports just make this camp sound so much more competitive and dynamic than last year's. I just hope it shows up come game time.

Re: The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread
 

I was hoping Morris would be a stud. I watched his you tube highlight reel and the kid blocked on the line and down-the-field. Maybe he will pick it up as we move in the preseason schedule.

Keiland Williams could beat out Parker. Wow.

I now remember seeing him returning kicks at TC also.

He was very active on Saturday. Looked good on passing plays actually.

Here's a shot I got of him burning LaRon for a TD on a screen pass. This drill was for RBs/FBs. Didn't see him at TE at all.

Re: The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread
 

I have faith that Dennis Morris will surprise the coaches in preseason and will be the backup FB and TE this year for us; as well as lay out a lot of returners on special teams!

Re: The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread
 

After some more morning readin git seems as though Devin Thomas is really struggling getting free with his route running. This is more of a dissapointment to me, I am rooting for the guy but I don't want to continue to keep these 2 WR around if they can't get it done in practice. If we move on then so be it.

Re: The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread
 

I think our top 3 WRs opening day will be Moss, Thomas, and Roydell Williams. By the end of September Kelly will creep into that top 3. Galloway will be a reliable #4. Austin will be the #5.

If there's a 6th WR it will be either Wade or Armstrong and he'll be on the inactive list most weeks. Likely though that Wade gets released before that happens.

Re: The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread
 

I think Willie Parker's going to have a tough time making this team.

Skip Bayless, John Clayton, and Phil Simms are among others who also have been positive on the Skins

Portis and Johnson are locks for the top 2 spots. And with Parker's inability to consistently use his speed as well as his poor pass blocking skills, he'll have a time tough making it past the all-torain vehicle...TORAIN!

Maybe Parker makes it and Keiland Williams goes on the PS. But I think Parker gets cut, and either Williams makes the roster or they get another back. Would love to see them bring back Anthony Alridge.

Your numbers don't add up. Wade or Armstrong would be the 7th WR, not the 6th.

1. Moss
2. Thomas
3. Roydell Williams
4. Galloway
5. Austin
6. Kelly (who will move to 3 at some point)
7. Wade or Armstrong.

So if we go with 5, who do you think those 5 will be? In my opinion, Galloway, Austin and Kelly are battling for two roster spots. The one most likely to get a spot is Austin in my opinion because he has special teams value.

Good point. Well then I think we go with 6 (the first six you have listed above)

6:
Moss, Galloway, Roydell, Thomas, Kelly
Austin/Armstrong whichever performs better on PR/KR

5: Moss, Roydell, Thomas, Kelly, Ausitn/Armstrong

John Clayton also thought we should have started Campbell back in 2007 against the Seahawks. Just saying. I do like the support of the other two though, oh and when is Sean Salisbury coming back? He's been on vacation for an awfully long time. Oh well, I guess thats the great thing about ESPN. Not only do you have mascots and athletes walking around the office but you offer great vacation packages.

Oh Sean, yeah he's such a fun guy. Always kidding about stuff, you know like the time when he was on a beach or something close to a beach (he is on vacation after all) and stood toe to toe with Albert Haynesworth. And I mean to send pictures like that to John Clayton, man what a guy.

Clayton's almost always been a big Skins supporter.

As for Salisbury, he hasn't worked for ESPN for a couple of years now. What he did was dumb, but honestly the person you saw on camera was not the same one I knew off-camera. He was a pretty good guy whenever I spoke with him.

Holy cow, are you a professional photographer? If not, you should be. Amazing photos...looks like you had a nice spot too.

Puts my photos (see fan appreciation day thread) to shame...but many of mine were taken from 50 yards away with only the stock lens (Fuji S7000 DSLR).
